There are again concerns over what North Korea might do next. It confirmed over the weekend that it had detained two American journalists for allegedly entering the country illegally via China. And there's talk about its planning to either launch a satellite or test first a missile at the start of April. But Pyongyang has also just restored military communication lines with the South and reopened their shared border. And South Korea's Prime Minister Han Seung-soo says Seoul would be open to dialogue.
